Cheng Qingqing paused with her hands, and finally raised her head, but her eyes fell into a pair of burning peach blossom eyes, as if they were filled with starlight.

"Ahem..." She blushed slightly, pretended to cough twice, and looked away.

"Li Beimo, you have helped me a lot recently, and I am very grateful to you, but you cannot use it as a bargaining chip to blackmail me into marrying you."

"This is definitely not blackmailing you, Qingqing, I sincerely want to marry you." Li Beimo's expression darkened, "It seems that I have not done enough. Don't worry, one day, I will impress you with my sincerity. of."

Cheng Qingqing put down her notebook and felt that it was necessary to have a good talk with her, "Li Beimo, we are not the same person. With my temperament, I am not suitable to be your princess."

"Suitable, so suitable. No one is more suitable than you." Li Beimo thought she had relaxed, and his eyes immediately lit up.

"I know you don't want to marry into the royal family, so I don't want to be the prince. After we get married, we will leave Kyoto and live our own lives, okay?"

Cheng Qingqing looked at him with complicated eyes. To be honest, she was a little touched. A noble prince could say that he was willing to give up his identity as a prince for her.

But she is not a love-minded person. She only listens to a few kind words from a man and then surrenders her sincerity.

"My lord, don't be ridiculous. You are of royal blood and have a distinguished status. How can you say that you don't want it?"

"As long as you are willing to marry me, I will do anything you want me to do." Li Beimo held one of her hands and looked directly at her with his enchanting eyes.

"Qingqing, I said that the person I like is bound to win! Call me domineering or unreasonable! I will never allow you to marry another man."

"That won't happen one day." Cheng Qingqing withdrew her hand and said coldly: "I am heartless and loveless. I am not interested in men. I will never marry in this life."

Her fate was cursed and she could only live to be 30 years old. She could not escape this fate even if she lived eight lives, and she would not be able to escape this fate in this life either. Why should she marry?

"Let's not talk about this for now." Li Beimo did not continue the topic.

He regretted that he pinched her neck that night and caused her psychological shadow, so she excluded him so much.

"To thank you for your recent help, I'll give you a few gifts. I think you will like them." Cheng Qingqing stood up, took out a dozen black balls from a small box, and placed them in front of him.

"What is this?" Li Beimo picked it up and looked at it. He didn't know what material it was made of. It looked very nice.

"This is a smoke bomb, which contains highly toxic substances. As long as a person inhales it, he will be immediately poisoned, comatose, or die. It can be used for self-defense when encountering danger." Cheng Qingqing explained to him.

This man was often assassinated, and she was really afraid that if he died, she would lose a partner to give him something to use for self-defense.

"It turns out to be a poisonous smoke bomb." Li Beimo's eyes lit up without surprise, and he accepted it unceremoniously.

Qingqing’s things must be the best.

"How to use this? There is no wire lead?" He searched for a while and found no ignitable wire lead.

"You don't need to use a fire to ignite this." Cheng Qingqing pointed to the pull tab on it, "Just pull the buckle off. It's much easier to use than your own smoke bombs."

Li Beimo was surprised when he heard this, "Qingqing, how did you do this? Did you do it yourself?"

Cheng Qingqing nodded, "Yes, the production method is actually very simple, and the materials can be obtained from anywhere, but I don't want to tell you."

"Okay! Qingqing is so smart." Li Beimo looked at her with inquiring eyes. This girl was not only mysterious, but also had many good things.

He picked up the smoke bomb like a baby and said goodbye to her, "I'm going back first. I may be very busy in the next few days. I'll come over to see you when I have time."

"No need to come over." Cheng Qingqing waved to him, looked at the smoke bomb and warned: "Don't go and take a look at the smoke bomb just because you are curious, otherwise, someone will die."

"Okay, I will listen to you. Qingqing asked me to go west, but I will never go east." Li Beimo smiled and turned to leave.

Cheng Qingqing suddenly said: "I want to go to the palace tomorrow to get the dowry back."

The dowry was prepared for her by Shangguan Bai and Li Meizhu. In order to save face, the dowry was quite large, but there were few valuable things inside.

Although the things are not valuable, they still have to be bought back.

"Wait a few days! After receiving the envoys from the Daxing Kingdom, I will personally send them back to you." After Li Beimo finished speaking, he walked out of the room.

Seeing his back disappearing outside the courtyard gate, Cheng Qingqing told Bixia not to disturb her, closed the door, and entered the space.

Thinking about the current situation, the Lin family, Zhennan Prince's Mansion, Shangguan family and other high-ranking figures have been offended by her, and they already hate her to the bone. If there is another conflict, it will not be the previous petty quarrel. She will have to Be prepared to respond.

Sitting at the work table, she started her research again.

After that, after a few peaceful days, Li Beimo might have been really busy, and he never showed up again.

On this day, an invitation was sent to the palace, saying that an envoy from the Daxing Kingdom was visiting. The emperor would hold a palace banquet tomorrow to welcome the envoy. Officials of third rank and above were also invited to bring their families to the palace for the banquet. Cheng Ying was a member of the Wei Kingdom. Madam, you are also invited.

Cheng Qingqing looked at the gilded invitation and smiled playfully at the corners of her lips.

The Fengjin Kingdom was controlled by the Daxing Kingdom in every aspect, and she had a vague feeling that the purpose of the envoy's visit at this time was absolutely impure.

On the next day.

After breakfast, Bixia began to dress up Cheng Qingqing, preparing to accompany her mother to the palace for the banquet.

Bixia took out a baggage, and what was inside turned out to be a formal dress for the princess.

"Miss, Guard Zheng sent this over last night and said that the prince asked you to wear this dress to the banquet."

"No!" Cheng Qingqing refused immediately.

Firstly, she disliked the identity of a princess; secondly, the clothes were too cumbersome and felt like wrapping rice dumplings on her body, making her very uncomfortable.

She only had a little makeup on her face, and only a red jade hairpin was inserted into her complicated bun.

I finally packed up and was about to go out when I saw Aunt Yun walking in, "Miss, Madam is already waiting for you in the front hall."

"Okay, I understand." Cheng Qingqing responded and walked out of the room.

When she saw her mother dressed in fine clothes, Cheng Qingqing was stunned for a moment. It had only been a few days since she saw her, but her mother had become so young and beautiful.

After this period of recuperation, Cheng Ying's body has plumped up a lot, and the energy and blood on her face have also recovered. In addition, after using the cosmetics given to her by Cheng Qingqing, the skin on her face is delicate and fair, and she has applied exquisite makeup. The flowers dotted between the eyebrows make her look like she is 24 or [-] years old.

Coupled with her tall figure and the luxurious clothes that are exclusive to the ladies of the country, the whole person looks gorgeous, noble and elegant, just like the otherworldly fairy in the painting.

"You girl, why are you looking at me like this?" Cheng Ying looked at her stupid daughter, feeling helpless.
